Hi Ladies! Family Tree & Oh Snap! What a great combination! I was thinking about digi and how much easier it is to store & add names to pictures. Then I stared thinking about ancestors & pictures. When my Pitcher Grandparent’s (Chelle’s Great Grandparents) had their 50th wedding anniversary party, our family worked hard on the gift. A Family Tree quilt with each family member’s name hand-embroidered on it. It was a beautiful masterpiece and they loved it. My Mom’s brother had 5 children and Mom’s sister had 5 children. They used about 1/3 of the quilt. The other 2/3 went to Mom’s family. My parent’s had 9 children and 13 grandchildren at the time of the 50th party. To give some perspective, Grandma was 60 year’s old when I was born and 61 when Chelle was born.

Grandma & Grandpa loved to dance. They met at a dance. Grandpa said he “fell in love at first sight.” Grandma said, “if he was gonna take her out, then he’d better learn to dance.” Grandma so graceful and she floated along as they danced ballroom. Later in their year’s they hooked up with a square dance club. At their anniversary party, they were sort of sad because none of their dancing friends had shown up. Just at the end of the party, in walked all the square-dance club members, fully decked out and ready to go. They left Grandma and Grandpa their traditional spot in their square of 4 as they promenaded in. Grandma & Grandpa jumped up and joined right in. The square-dance caller had even changed his lyrics to be all about “Mel & Mon.” Grandma was 72 & Grandpa 71 at the time. This picture was taken a couple of year’s later and is my favorite picture of them square-dancing together.

Now for some inspiration from the Creative Team.

Jenn J (jmljensen) used Beep Beep Boop Beep Template by SWL also. Jenn’s blocking is done so well. I love the string flower hidden behind her yellow flower.

Kassie (kass_23) Look at how well Kassie has tied her background in with Grandma’s dress? Love the cluster’s and the journaling about her baby liking her own voice all mic’d up.

Carol (Iowan) Carol’s LO is just wonderful! I love all the cluster’s! What a great way to use “faded” as an indicator of the time that has passed.
